%SEARCH{"Address", regex="on", excludetopic="Prv.*|Web*", header=" | *Topic* | *Site* | *Usercount* |", format=" | $topic | $pattern(\| Site Address \| (.*) \|) | $pattern(\| Number of users \| (.*) \|) | "}%

supposed to pull out the number of users in records such as this one:

http://testwiki.mrjc.com/twiki/bin/view/SiteReport/LindmarkDotnet - i.e. 9

It fails, giving the error:

 Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/\| Site Address \| ( <--HERE .*/ at ../lib/TWiki/Search.pm line 788. 

I patched the server to show what the variable "$thePattern" was evaluating to.

• http://testwiki.mrjc.com/twiki/bin/view/SiteReport/PrvUserCounts

It turns out that it truncated what I wrote:

\| Site Address \| (.*) \|

to:

\| Site Address \| (.*

Note the missing ") \| "

I suspect it is a bug with this regex:

$tempVal =~ s/$pattern(s*(.*?s*.*))/getTextPattern( $text, $1 )/ge 

Or am I doing something wrong?

On the TWiki.org server this example fails to even save as it die during preview.

Martin, could you verify if this is fixed now? Related to FormattedSearchPatternExtractionUnmatchedParenthesesError fix.

Sorry, I've been away for a while; I only just saw the message today. I'll take a look.
